Our Open House Celebration Last Night

May 15 2009 at 10:08 AM

Rick Gelinas 

Our Open House was a lot of fun!!!

We had around 25 who came out to our Open House last night. It started off as a very rainy evening. And I lost traction and spun out on my way to the Open House. I took out a power pole, the car's totaled, but Im OK. Needless to say, I was a little late getting to the party. (Nothing like making a dramatic entrance)

The party was a lot of fun! We played two rounds of Who Wants To Be An Encapionaire. The winners each received $100 gift certificates. The grand prize offering was a slightly damaged 2007 RX-8 wink.gif

We ate a bunch of pizza, and enjoyed some Yuengling beer and soda. And then we had our Cimex drawing. Eric Guhl was our Cimex winner. Eric was a very happy man!!!

Our Open House was a lot of fun! Everyone enjoyed themselves. Our Cimex winner, Eric Guhl, left the party overjoyed with his prize. Nancy and I and our staff had fun welcoming everyone that came. And considering how things could have turned out with my little fender bender, Im happy to be in one piece today. Life is precious!

Thank you to everyone who came! We hope you had a nice time happy.gif

looks like a whole lot of fun. Tony lomas and wranglers huh Rick? You should have been in uniform young man. (smile)

Looking at the car I'm sure glad you and your wife made it there safely. I don't know where i would have gotten any good deals without you around. Looks like a volvo you were driving. One the more accident equipped cars on the market.

No Alex, that was a Mazda Rx-8. It took the crash like a Volvo though. I was amazed at how well it crushed and protected me. Nancy wasn't in the car, which is good, becasue the damage was greater on the pasenger side.

As far as the "uniform", Drew, Nancy, and I were casual wearing OCCD T-Shirts. We just released the new OCCD T-Shirts at Connections. They are a series of 5 T-Shirts with our most popular OCCD slogans on the front. We have them on sale for $10 each in LG and XL. BTW, Beth, Jo, and Brenda where wearing "uniform" shirts.

Here's the design layouts on the shirts:

Good to hear you are OK!

Looked like a good time with people who love commercial carpet care as much as you do. What an awesome prize, a Cimex! It's a good thing the Cimex wasn't in the car. Then again it is a tank and it probably would've been just fine.

Hopefully future trips to your new location go a bit smoother than this one. happy.gif

Not a bad idea about buying a bigger car Derek. But the little ones are more fun to drive.
(Most of the time)

My poor RX-8
